Other Credit Values are calculated proportionately.
Because of the intensive nature of our courses and programmes, assessment will largely be in-
course, adopting differing formats. These assessment formats include, but not limited to, in-
class tests, assignments, end of course examinations. Based on these assessments, successful
candidates will receive the Diploma – Postgraduate, or Postgraduate Diploma, as appropriate.
In the case of Diploma – Postgraduate, a minimum of 70% overall pass is expected. In order to
receive the Award of Postgraduate Diploma, candidate must have accumulated at least the
required minimum ‘credit-hours’, with a pass (of 70% and above) in at least 70% of the
courses taken.
Delegates and students who fail to achieve the requirement for Postgraduate Diploma, or
Diploma - Postgraduate - will be given support for 2 re-submissions for each course. Those
delegates who fail to achieve the assessment requirement for the Postgraduate Diploma or
Diploma - Postgraduate - on 2 resubmissions, or those who elect not to receive them, will be
awarded the Certificate of Attendance and Participation.
